A meeting reviewed one of the key issues of ensuring economic stability — the inflation rate.

The President noted the need to curb price growth by increasing the supply of goods and services on the domestic market.

Earlier, regional leaders were tasked with keeping inflation within 3% in January–June. However, only Samarkand region managed to meet this target. Other regions failed to achieve the planned indicators.

Special attention was paid to the situation with meat prices. In April–June, the cost of meat products increased by 6–8%.

It was noted that 300 billion soums were allocated to compensate for the costs of delivering imported meat by air.

Entrepreneurs from Tashkent city and Tashkent region imported 1,300 tons of meat. Meanwhile, other regions did not show sufficient activity in addressing the issue, as noted at the meeting.

The head of state instructed regional governors and responsible officials to review the balance of meat production and consumption in the regions, and to prepare specific plans for import volumes, delivery schedules, and countries of origin.
